Idhika Paul has transitioned from playing the character ‘Rimli’ to becoming ‘Dev’s heroine’ Kishori. She has skyrocketed to fame overnight. After starring opposite Dev in the film Khaadon, she is now Bengal’s crush, with everyone recognizing her by her character name, Kishori. Her rise is quite remarkable. Though her first film role was with Bangladeshi actor Shakib Khan, her debut in Tollywood has made quite a stir.
However, did you know that the actress’s real name is not Idhika? Her actual name is something else, and many people are unaware of this fact.
Before Khaadon, Idhika had acted in several popular TV serials such as Rimli, Pilu, and Kapalkundala. Her film debut happened in a Bangladeshi movie, and shortly after, she got the opportunity to work with Dev in Khaadon.
Her name is now quite familiar, especially thanks to the song ‘Kishori’. However, interestingly, Idhika’s real name is not the one we know. After entering the industry, she changed her name.
Idhika’s real name was Tumpa Pal, but she changed it shortly after starting her acting career. Her new name, ‘Idhika’, is derived from the well-known name of Goddess Parvati. She holds this name very dear, and that’s why she decided to change it after entering the industry.
Now, the entire Bengali audience knows her as ‘Idhika’. This new name has greatly boosted her recognition and popularity, particularly because of the viral song ‘Kishori’. Even those who don’t watch Bengali serials recognize her as Kishori. This song has catapulted her to the height of fame, and the name ‘Kishori’ has become synonymous with her.
Thanks to this song, her name is on everyone’s lips, and through Kishori, Idhika has firmly established herself in both the Bengali film and television industries.
Idhika gained popularity by playing the character Ranja in the serial Pilu. She starred alongside Bangladeshi superstar Shakib Khan in the Dhallywood film Priyotoma, which was before her entry into Tollywood. Her role in Dev’s film Khaadon became a major milestone in her career.
Idhika is quite active on social media, where her bold avatar photos ignite excitement among her followers. Her chemistry with Dev in Kishori has created quite a stir among the audience. Many believe that Idhika is poised to become a major success in Tollywood in the future.
After the success of Khaadon, Dev and Idhika will once again work together in the film Raghu Dakat. This will be the first time Sohini Sarkar will share the screen with Dev in this film. However, the roles of the two actresses have not yet been revealed.
Dev is gradually unveiling important characters from the movie. The team announced the film’s mahurat (auspicious start) on Saraswati Puja day. After nearly four years of waiting, the film is finally about to begin its journey. Reports also say that the team will shoot not just in various parts of Bengal, but also in Maharashtra.
Idhika Paul has already completed shooting for another film. This time, she has paired up again with Priyotoma co-star Shakib Khan in the new movie Borbad. The team will release the film in Bangladesh cinemas during the upcoming Eid.
